								Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today 
								announced the winners of the "Make-A-Hero" 
								contest for its critically-acclaimed retro-sexy 
								action-adventure 3D Dot Game HeroesTM 
								for PlayStation®3 
								computer entertainment system. The competition, 
								which challenged North American 3DDGH 
								adventurers to make a custom hero to end all 
								heroes in the game's powerful 3D Dot Game Heroes 
								character creation tool, received overwhelming 
								support from an endless stream of talented and 
								passionate gamers.
 "Thank you to everyone who created and submitted 
								a custom hero for the 'Make-A-Hero' contest," 
								beamed Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations 
								and Sales at Atlus. "We were fairly certain it 
								would simply be a matter of crowning whichever 
								two or three submissions weren't inappropriately 
								phallic in nature, but to our extreme amazement, 
								there was an overwhelming number of awesome and 
								highly original submissions. Special 
								congratulations go out to 'TheRat' and their 'MANNON' 
								hero for taking the top prize, earning $100 in 
								video game credit from Amazon.com. Who could 
								argue with a shirtless man-tank armed with a 
								chest cannon? Precisely."
 
 In addition to MANNON's impressive upper-torso 
								artillery, five other retro-sexy creations will 
								receive $25 in Amazon.com video game credit: 
								ASCII (by Triston), Sheepsuit (by Orison), 
								Bunnblade (by Ricks C. Anderson II), Birdie in a 
								cage (by townkinkykid), and Phoenix (by Jon 
								Preston).
 
 To celebrate the success of the "Make-A-Hero" 
								contest and to bring more attention to the 
								easy-to-use, incredibly flexible character 
								editor, Atlus released the "Heroes of Dotnia" 
								audition video, which gives fans a glimpse into 
								the grueling process of applying to become the 
								Hero of Dotnia.
 
 3D Dot Game Heroes for PlayStation 3 system is 
								currently available in retailers across North 
								America with an MSRP of $39.99. For more 
								information, check out the official 3D Dot Game 
								Heroes website.
